Bottle courtesy of coldbrewky and cuso. Drinking while watching the season 2 finale of GOT. The bottle opens with a loud POP! Pours jet black capped by a large 3 finger crater rock tan head with excellent retention. Nose of roast, chocolate, and lots of flowery hop, faint citrus. Lots of lovely lacing. Big full body of chocolate and roasted coffee. Lots of bitterness with lingering flower hop presence. Yeah man!!! The slovaks are up to speed on RIS.

thanks djd07, love the obscure tick! .. . dark black brown .. mild foam .. . lots of tar and carbon .. bit of a flat feel and a placid finish but for what it is, decent .. . . I was in a restaurant that had a sign that said ’Restrooms For Customers Only’… I thought, it must suck to work there.

With a small sshhhh the swing top bottle opens.
Black pour. A very big brown foamy head on top of a pitch black colored beer. The aroma reminds me a bit of of a BIPA with brett: hoppy and some good roasted ingredients. To describe the aroma a bit more: hops, flowers, wild yeast, brett, hint of cardboard, roast, marzepin, hints of perfume, citrus, apricot, tar, carbo, some roasted malts and chocolate. Very nice aroma!
Flavours of brett, hop, flowers, soap, citrus, apricot, roast, roasted barley malts, liquorice wood, bitters, vinous, coffee, wild yeast, light vinous, light wood, some coal bitter, grapefruit, hay roast, cacoa, some raisin and figs. Crispy and dark. Delicious!
Aftertaste is a mix of roast, strong bitter, coffee, chocolate, some liquorice (wood), hops, some yeast and vinous notes.
Low carbo, soft creamy mouthfeel, full body and a creamy texture.
Seems like one of the few dark beers were the brett does a good job. I really like this beer. Different approach, still very dark but also crisp!
